Taking part in Variety's Actors on Actors series, the Scots actor, who plays Jamie Fraser in the Starz time travel series, spent a few minutes answering some fan questions submitted via Twitter.

One fan asked whether it would be quicker to travel back in time through the standing stones, just like Claire Randall did in Diana Gabaldon's story, or in Back to the Future's DeLorean.

Sam debated the issue, with the car needing to speed up to 88mph to travel while the Scottish standing stones are fixed in position and decided it was "a mixed bag".

He was also asked whether he would have made different decisions on the Battle of Culloden and Bonnie Prince Charlie if he were in Jamie's shoes and whether being able to refer to Diana's books, as well as the script, has an impact on what viewers see on screen.

You can see Sam's answers to these questions and more with the video below.
